So, it has come to my attention that there are several people on this forum who live in the same general area, and could get to a brikwar with like under an hour of driving.

so um.. we should have a real-life brikwar.

I'm willing to host, or if people are feeling silly about security concerns, we might be able to have the game at a park with picnik tables and a gazebo, or perhaps at the Source (comics and games) which is a store near where I live that has open tables for any kind of gaming you want all the time.

From discussions in the chat, it sounds like this summer is a good time to have the game, and it will probably take place on some weekend in may or june.

I live in a northern suburb of the Twin Cities area, so if I'm hosting, that's where the game would be held.

Who all would be interested in attending such an event?

Also, since there's a span of several months until it would be taking place, this thread would be a good place to plan out some interesting objectives and maybe also do some colaborative building for the scenery and bases and such that the battle will take place on like Bonn-o-Tron.

Currently, a suggested topic for the game is "vieing for the leadership of the third alliance"

As I will be playing, and Scratch (space-ittalians of some form) will also most likely be there. So that's a nifty plot-hook.

So right now, I'm thinking that an interesting objective would be that there is an Akkadian armored convoy moving through some area, and there is some sort of choke point in the center of the field. The Ittalian forces have set up an ambush inside that choke point.

Akkadian objectives: get as many supply crates as possible to the akkadian base on the other side of the field.

Ittalian objectives: capture as many supply crates as possible, and ship them off-planet. The crates contain information which can be used to blackmail the uberkaiser into stepping down from his position in the TA.

There will be 5 crates in total, and if either side acquires three of them, it will result in a victory.

Objectives for factions not yet known to be attending will be added in as people say they would like to join and also mention which army you plan on using and what their motive might be for being at the battle.

Also only having one set of objectives is boring, and there will probably be more objectives added in as more people sign up. Such as assasinating X hero, discovering the hidden location of X resource, or whatever else pops up as the story develops.

I could possibly attend, if I could convince my parents to let me go down to the cities for a day. I had also had an idea, as my army is now not a star-based empire and still on one planet, the planet that all this is taking place on could be mine, and my objective would be involved some way, either by repelling all of the alien people off of my planet, etc. But I'd still have to see if I could.

Anyway, I recently learned that I have been hired for an internship about 4 hours drive away in South Dakota. So.. We can still do this, but it will require a bit more planning in advance and won't be as open of a schedule. Probably it will need to take place on a weekend (preferably on a saturday) is what that translates to.

Yeah.. I got an internship I hadn't planned on getting into. So I'm in south Dakota now. We could either shoot for next summer, or possibly during winter break. I'll be back in the cities from Dec 20 till Jan 15. Obviously everyone has Saturnalia and new years shit going on then, but there' sprobably a time somewhere in there we could get a brikwar going.

I have a group of friends who I get to play brikwars with whenever I'm home, but it would be interesting to see some new faces if some forum member types can come along whenever we have that if we can get it planned.

I allways have a metric shit-ton of stuff built, so it wouldn't be too difficult to throw something together.

Plus I have maybe three other friends who play, but don't go on the forums.. so we could get a pretty big and awesome battle going if we can get all of our shit together. And if we wanted to make it really really big, there's like four more people from my highschool that I managed to convince to play of few battles. So there's a much larger presence of Brikwars players here than there is anywhere else I'm aware of.
